Our Story
FOODIE COACHES was built on lived experience. Our founder, Tim Kummerfeld, began his career in hospitality and knows what it feels like to face the long hours and constant pressure. When he later opened his own accounting firm, restaurant owners quickly became his main clients.
But the challenges went far beyond bookkeeping. Tim saw that owners needed more than financial reports; they needed systems, strategies, and support to turn passion into profit. What began as simple accounting sessions soon evolved into full business coaching.
At the request of his clients, Tim built a structured program that delivered consistent results. From there, Foodie Coaches was born - a place where hospitality owners across Australia, America, New Zealand, parts of Europe (and more) learn together, grow faster, and finally create businesses that work for them, not against them.
THE SMARTER WAY TO RUN YOUR HOSPITALITY BUSINESs
With proven systems and community support, we help owners transform chaos into clarity and stress into success.
FREEDOM
If your business can’t run without you, it’s running you.
We’ll help you step out of the grind and finally focus on what matters: your team, your family, and yourself.
Our Story
Running a restaurant can feel isolating, but the right support changes everything.
FOODIE COACHES is one of the leading dedicated hospitality communities in Australia, America, New Zealand, and parts of Europe.
PROFIT
Most venues leak profit without knowing it.
Our coaching uncovers the blind spots, plugs the gaps, and helps owners add thousands to their weekly takings.
